I'm a good 30 hour drive from Montreal. You wouldn't pay any taxes on a private sale. You'd need to have the car saftied, which wouldn't be difficult given the age and mileage. The only thing that would be annoying is the fact that the Canadian cars only show speed in KM. No smaller numbers for MPH.

You would have to pay for the sales taxes in your home state given their policies for items bought from a private seller (i.e. not a business). I think there's a standard import fee for registration and then the licensing and what not as well. Would be still cheaper than buying in your area by the looks of things.
